Delighted to welcome back to the WR the rather awesome Phil Cooper. After a sold out gig last year with his band The Lost Trades, Phil returns with a solo acoustic show as part of a small uk tour promoting his new solo album, delighted to be able to host one of these shows.. Phil is a brilliant songwriter & performer & deserves another full house . Support comes from the awesome Ben & Pete from local band The Hightowns who will be performing some wonderfully crafter original tracks Phil Cooper is a contemporary folk-pop troubadour based in Bristol. He is best known as one third of folk / americana trio The Lost Trades, but has also been performing solo for the best part of two decades, sharing the stage with the likes of Badly Drawn Boy, The Bluetones, Mark Chadwick and many more. His vocals and varied songwriting have been compared to the likes of James Taylor, Neil Finn (Crowded House), Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze), Stephen Stills and Glen Hansard. A live performance with Phil is friendly and engaging and you'll be sure to laugh and cry, all whilst tapping your feet, and humming along to the instantly catchy melodies he weaves Support tbc
